COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This training was prepared by the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council (TCCC) in partnership with NHI to introduce the basics of structural bolted connections. The information presented is useful for non-structural applications as well. Bolting is a common method of making connections, care should be exercised both in their design, installation and maintenance. For the purposes of this course, we are focusing on the installation of bolts. This training is recommended for the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council levels II through IV.

Installation procedures explain how important it is to protect the fastener assemblies and surfaces during construction. We will review fastener assemblies' pre-installation verification and explain the rotational-capacity testing.
